our 2004 x5 3.0 has the boot intake tear too. indy fixed it for part only as he was doing other work...

you need to find a good indy and buy that reset tool. oil changes and spark plugs are 'dirt simple' on the 3.0 as well.

if you don't want the x5 PM me and I'll take it. ours has 60,000 miles and runs like a dream... it will last for ever and i will be driving it into the ground...
